Re: getting the date, next question

At 12:04 -0500 12/31/2003, Simon Kidd wrought:

make new folder at folder "Documents" of folder "Toby" of folder "Users" of disk "PowerMac_HD" with properties {name:foldername}
...
I now want the script to move something into the new folder, but how do I refer to the new folder if I dont know its name? Something like:
______________________________________________________________________

Hello Simon,

Okay, Michelle showed you how to turn the "make new folder" event into a reference.

Now, since you're using the documents folder there is an easier way to refer to it (and many other commonly used folders):

set fldrNameStr to "A_New_Folder"
tell application "Finder"
set nf to make new folder at (path to documents folder from user domain) with properties {name:fldrNameStr}
end tell

Scope out "path to" in the Standard Additions osax dictionary.


Chris
